January 2015

I delivered a presentation and showed my Fixers film to students at Brooklands College in Surrey.

A lot of the young people who were in the audience are interested in pursuing a career in the police force, so I was able to offer them guidance on how to communicate effectively with someone on the autistic spectrum.

I even had a student, who has grown up with a friend who has autism, approach me afterwards to thank me personally for my campaign.

The rest of the feedback I received was equally positive. You can read some of the comments below.

Henry: 'This was very informative and it has given me a greater understanding of those with autism and Asperger’s.'

Cameron: 'The presentation was very good and as I want to join the police it really opened my eyes to some of the situations I might run into.'
